However, one day, when Kirishima pulls Shuzenji out of the bath after he is submerged, a strangely dressed beautiful boy is also fished out. This beautiful boy becomes embroiled in a battle for the succession of the magical kingdom of Honyaraland, and the members of the Earth Defense Club become embroiled in the battle.
